Policy Shifts from Washington
The BOMA International Winter Business Meeting (Jan 25-28, 2026) in Washington, DC, is often dry on product demos but heavy on the regulations that dictate facility budgets. For February 2026, property managers are digesting new advocacy updates regarding building envelope insurance requirements.
The Impact on Emergency Mitigation
One of the quiet but critical topics at BOMA this year involves the standards for "reasonable mitigation" of damages. Insurers are increasingly demanding professional-grade shrink wrap containment rather than simple blue tarps to justify coverage continuity during long repair timelines. This shift elevates the responsibility of the facility manager to have a pre-contracted emergency partner.
Understanding these policy nuances is essential for staying compliant and insured. For a complete view of the month’s events, check our National Agenda. More details on the legislative outcomes can be found at BOMA International.
